Society does not have to accept or support homosexuality, but neither should it be condemned or punished, and violence against people based on their sexual orientation should not be tolerated.

The subject of homosexuality has often been surrounded by controversy. Much of the dispute centers on whether homosexuality should be treated as morally, socially, and legally equivalent to heterosexuality.

Well, it is a subject which intrigues everyone's mind nowadays as it's becoming a common thing among youngsters, mostly. I think that whatever happens, homosexuality will remain a growing social fact and the state will have to come on a term where there is a democracy for the homosexuals as well so that they have the freedom to get married. On the other hand, I think it will be a great disturbance for conservative and traditional people for the fact that it will change certain norms and also the conventional mindset of the population. The existence of heterosexuality may eventually become a question mark. However, since we are in a world of constant mutation, I guess we should accept homosexuality and be fair to them. I don't want to indulge in such things because I believe much more in heterosexuality, yet I don't mind the presence of homosexuals as long as they aren't a threat for the society.

Yeah i agree wiz Sneh and Vishaan, but in the 'bible'(for those who believes in religion), it is written that this is not acceptable amoung christians.. though we still have lots of homosexuals which are christians. Well, let's have another debate here and as we can see, religion plays a major role in homosexuality.

Wrong! Homosexuality has been a feature of human culture since earliest history. Generally and most famously in ancient Greece, erotic attraction and sexual pleasure between males has been an ingrained, accepted part of the cultural norm.

In the course of the twentieth century, homosexuality became a subject of considerable study and debate in western societies, especially after the modern gay rights movement began in 1969. Once viewed by authorities as a pathology or mental illness to be cured, homosexuality is now more often investigated as part of a larger impetus to understand the biology, psychology, genetics, politics, history and cultural variations of sexual practice and identity.

The legal and social status of people who perform homosexual acts varies enormously across the world and in places remains hotly contested in political and religious debate. However, if we go deep in this particular subject we can assume that religion remains the biggest barriers of all as those politics who condemn homosexuality are those who are influenced by religion.

I have myself been the "prey" of some homosexuals in numerous occassions but in no way I see this as a threat to the community. Those people only have an attraction towards the same sex and they only express their feelings.

Just like a guy who may have strong feelings for a girl and then go on to marry the latter I think we should understand the homosexuals' feelings too. They only need a partner with whom they can be at ease. Hence, in my opinion homosexuals should have their place in the democracy and society. What's need to be changed is the mindset of the population.
